It was sooo cold today where I live, but I was grinning big for a reason...

I found these socks at GAP last week in the women's section. They were 3 for $15, then I found the price tag saying 1.99. ON TOP OF THAT, it was an additional 40% off. I only paid 1.19 + tax a pair. I don't wear socks like these, but there is a reason why I wanted them.

I have been wanting to buy leg warmers for Rachel, the ones I saw at the stores cost around $10 or more. I didn't want to pay that much so, desided to make one.

3. That's it! They are ready to wear! If you are making this for a littler(is that even a word?) child, it might be a good idea to leave an opening to put elastic in; so, it is not too big and flappy for them.

Rachel was sooo excited and with today's cold weather, it was just perfect.

I must make some of these for sweet Eloise! I think she is going to be crawling in a couple months and her little knees will get chapped. I bet if I used children's socks instead, they would be the perfect baby size. What do you think?

I love the baby legs idea and have gone a bit mad with them for my 2 girls (2 months and 7 years) but then I saw your picture of her with her leggings under the baby legs and a whole new world opened up for me! I went right into my 7 year old's room and said, "Look what else you can do with them!"

Baby legs have to be the most versatile item I have ever made for me and my girls. I hope they never ever ever go out of style.

Found you from another blog that referenced your tutorial. This gives me some ideas to use up the sleeves from a few sweaters! I ***freeze*** at work and I bet using your tut and the sleeves off of a few too-short sweaters to make ***myself*** some leg warmers!
